Buffzone: Dan Hawkins Does QB Flip-Flop, says both Tyler Hansen and Cody Hawkins Could Play

16
Hawkins said today during his lunchtime press conference that it's possible both quarterbacks could play Saturday. "He's still going to have a role, and I think there is a very good chance you could see both of them," Hawkins said. "They will both be ready to go." Like I said in the comments of the story below, this is a pretty shocking development. Hopefully, it is a ploy to make Kansas prep for both quarterbacks, eventhough that doesn't make a lot of sense. I am sure they gave Hansen some guarantees if he were to remove the redshirt and play this year. I have to assume this is a cat and mouse game but if they wanted to do that, they should have left Cody in the whole game against Texas and then brought out Hansen unexpectedly against Kansas. Once again we have coaches and players saying different lines. Offensive Coordinator Coach Kiesau after the Texas game: "I don`t want to get into the back and forth, back and forth or having packages," offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau said. "I want to have a guy. I want the team to see that, and right now, today, Tyler is our guy." Dan Hawkins today: "He’s still going to have a role, and I think there is a very good chance you could see both of them," Hawkins said. "They will both be ready to go." Never a dull moment in Buff land. Tyler Hansen needs to get a full vote of confidence from Dan Hawkins, not having to worry that one bad throw and he will be pulled in favor of Cody. If the Buffs do indeed rotate quarterbacks this weekend, I can't imagine how hot the seat will get and what the reaction at Folsom will be on national television.
